The parade of small FO's

I've actually finished the mittens now, they're a gift for my mom whose initials are EBF...In the upper picture we have two socks without mates, two hats, two pairs of fingerless mitts, and hopefully the beginning of me blogging again. I don't have a single sweater on the needles right now, an odd condition for me, but I haven't been knitting all summer so I suppose I'm just starting with the small stuff.I just got an amazing package in the mail courtesy of my good buddy Kasia, and I've been swatching for a luscious scarf all day. I think I've picked a good stitch pattern and I can't wait to wear it---it's a beautiful day today, but it's getting colder here. I'm wearing my long underwear almost every day now.Hopefully I'm back on track ladies and gentlemen!

About Me

I first learned how to knit from my mom who cast on and bound off for me. I promptly forgot about knitting and didn't pick sticks up again until 4 years ago. A good friend had just learned to knit and was taking a trip to the yarn store. Maybe it's because I was born in the year of the sheep but for some reason that yarn store called to me...Imagiknit. My Mecca. I didn't know what to do but I knew I had to have that purple Manos.
My friend showed me the basics and I hadn't knit two stitches when the motion felt familiar. Somehow my hands remembered and I was off! I have to say that I haven't looked back since.
